Albert’s Lyrebird

Hi everyone I have a particular interest in rainforest habitat restoration and, at this minute, as outlined in the request to follow, I’m particularly interested in habitat of Albert’s Lyrebird. My property at Wilsons Creek west of Mullumbimby has accommodated two lyrebird territories, up the back bordering Mount Jerusalem National Park, for the whole of the 30 years that I have lived here. Just in the last month, another pair has moved into regrowth that has been developing in the central parts of the property. If they can establish and persist here, it will be a wonderful reward for restoration efforts over the years. (It is actually quite distracting to have a bird calling intermittently 20 m from my home office!) I am wondering if anybody else has experience or knowledge of Albert’s Lyrebirds setting up new territories and expanding into regrowth and restored habitat? A particular reason for posting today is to ask for your support for a crowd-funded campaign to restore habitat for Albert’s Lyrebird. Our landcare group has been chosen as one of 15 projects nationally for the launch of the Pozible/Landcare Environment Collection, an initiative launched for the 25th anniversary of landcare at a recent conference in Melbourne. Our campaign has got off to a great start. Now we need help to meet our funding target by 29 October, and would very much appreciate assistance with getting the word out through your networks. A crowd-funded campaign works on lots of (mostly small) donations and sharing of campaign details through social media. Details are at www.pozible.com.au/helpalbert Thanks for reading!
